Believers simply can’t

be considered literate

without knowing the

basics of the Bible. And

without that knowledge,

believers certainly can’t

be considered growing

disciples of Christ. Isn’t

it time your church did

something about it?

The Read the Bible for

Life movement teaches

believers how to read the

various types of biblical

literature in a way that

unlocks God’s intended

meaning, enabling them

to accurately interpret the

Bible and appropriately

apply its teachings to life.
